PHILADELPHIA -- The @PhillyWings of the
@NLLNetwork announced Tuesday that the team will be revolutionizing
jerseys by using Wings players' Twitter handles as their nameplate
for the team's game against the @NLLBandits at @WellsFargoCtr on
Sunday, February 12 at 4 p.m.

Every player on the Wings roster will have his Twitter handle
stitched onto the back of his jersey, in place of traditional last
names, as an effort to help increase engagement and awareness for
use of the social media tool. The Wings front office staff will
require each player on the team to create and/or maintain a Twitter
account and will be holding a formal Twitter training session prior
to the start of the season.

The Wings will be the first American professional sports team to
use Twitter handles in place of last names on their jerseys.
Following the game, the one-of-a-kind, game-worn jerseys will be
auctioned off to fans, with proceeds benefitting
@AmericanCancer.

The Wings will begin their quest for a league record seventh NLL
Championship against the @RocKnighthawks at Wells Fargo Center on
Saturday, January 14 at 7 p.m.

The Wings are owned and operated by Philadelphia Wings L.P.,
whose principal owners are Russ Cline, Chris Fritz and Michael
French. Comcast-Spectacor serves as the marketing, promotional,
advertising, sponsorship and publicity arm of the Wings.
